The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is requesting public input on a transportation study focused on Route 28 (Catlett Road) in Fauquier County. The area under review stretches from U.S. 15/29 (James Madison Highway) to the Prince William County line.
This effort, known as the Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions (STARS) study, will look at traffic flow and safety issues for all users along this section of Route 28. VDOT has made a short public survey available until August 20 to collect feedback from residents and commuters.
According to VDOT, “The purpose of this study is to develop a series of short-, medium-, and long-term solutions to address intersection safety concerns and two-lane road crash patterns. The study will consider and develop potential safety and operational improvements for vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian and transit users in the study area and develop cost estimates for the preferred alternatives.”
Further details about the project, including access to the survey, can be found on the study’s web page.
Those with questions are encouraged to contact Justin Cooner, VDOT senior planning specialist, at (540) 829-7498 or justin.cooner@vdot.virginia.gov.
Updates specific to VDOT’s Culpeper District are posted regularly on X.com/VaDOTCulp as well as the Culpeper District Facebook group page.
Statewide traffic information—including live camera feeds—is available through the 511Virginia website. Travelers can also use the free VDOT 511 mobile app or call 511 from any phone within Virginia for updates.
